The company that makes tide pods started putting child-safety zippers and warnings on the new packaging, but that likely won't help with teens.

Schumacher said, "I think it's a desire to get likes, a desire to get bigger on the social media scene,"

A student from UW Oshkosh told FOX 11, "It's just kind of an idiotic trend. I feel like there are plenty of other ways to get likes if that's whats important to you."

"How about a random act of kindness challenge or something that's not going to kill you or create permanent damage," said Schumacher.

The detergent has ingredients like ethanol, hydrogen peroxide and polymers which can be life threatening if ingested.

"Pod cleanings, its disinfecting, you can have caustic burns because if you get dirt on stuff, you need to break it down, so most of those pod chemicals that have an aging in there breaks down dirt and its usually caustic and cause burns and its like any other cleaning materials."

If you're not persuaded yet, take it from Tide itself.

On Friday, the company tweeted, "What should Tide Pods be used for? Doing Laundry. Nothing else."
